IMO these won't be in the squad:

Lloris
Austin or Whiteman
Tanganga
Rodon
Sanchez
Reguillon
GLC or Ndombele (maybe both)
White

Probably Sessegnon and Gil will be loaned or sold as well.
 
See prev. post.

"Horrendous" injuries are not uncommon..... Especially in an era where players haven't had a standard season since 2019.

22 is generally considered a small squad..... 20 is anemic.
Fair enough 22 but going above that then if everyone is fit and healthy then it becomes a problem as players are left out week in week out. Also putting on a session you don’t want more than 20 max if you have them all training together

There will always be some struggling with fitness which would bring that number down.

Meh... You wouldn't even have enough to do an 11 v 11 scenario in training.
 
no not really but fulham is ripe we can send players too like sessegnon, lo celso etc

i dont see fulham getting 90 mill for one good season out of palhinha anyway, i see 60 and add ons doing it

bentancur isnt back till nov/dec time maybe ange needs that 6 type player

our midfield would be overkill and i dont want us doing it over the cb's anyway
You don't sign a £60 million player plus his wages for 5 years just because one of your players will not be ready until 1/3 into the season. It's not like we'd be title favorites with that gap plugged. And even if we were, it still wouldn't make any sense.
 
There are 31 players on that list... 3 are u21s (28).... winks left (27).... we signed 2 players (29)... Austin is out of contract (28).... Lloris says he's leaving (27)

We still need to move 2 players on i guess (Rodon + Reguilon?) After that it's 1 out, 1 in or 'upgrades'.

it's not a 'massive' squad... dunno where 33 comes from?
Austin contract 2024.
Whiteman 2025
 
Tough shit, frankly.
Why do virtually none of them seek to only have 20 man squads then.......?


.........Because the 'man power' needs of a full season superceed that preference.
Even if there is a bigger squad there will be guys who don’t train with the first team . At Chelsea last season there was about 10 players training away from the first team. That caused issues as we saw how bad they were. Even Thiago Silva said it was an issue and he was part of the first team.

As I already said.... Chelsea's squad is a numerically extreme case that doesn't translate to our predicament.

25 is not an over-sized squad.





Lets get real here....... If we only start the season with 20 player;s the knives will be out for Levy.

His "representatives".
So much wrong with this picture. Firstly, the only photographs he has is of Harry. Dozens of them! Secondly, just looking at the alignment of the photos is making my OCD go off the charts.

Me too. :dierpochhug:


So (ok I know the answer already, but...); 9/10 years deep into his career as a football agent for the elite, has Charlie added a 2nd client to his portfolio yet?
